10) ADAMU MU’AZU



He became chairman of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and suddenly, the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) realized it wasn’t going to be an easy ride for them. He completely revamped the party this year, brought some sense of sanity to the way things are run there and most of all, stayed likeable by most Nigerians; an almost impossible feat to achieve as the head of the PDP. Many think he’ll run for president in 2019.

9) TOKE MAKINWA



Or Mrs. A like she sometimes calls herself, had a phenomenal year and what makes it even more interesting is the fact that she almost did it by inventing her own rules. She ran a weekly video blog that grew her fan base immensely, attended every event possible and looked flawless while at it, entertained Lagosians on radio in the mornings, pretty much turned her Instagram page to an ad space for people in the fashion industry, and most importantly, completely blocked out whatever negative talk there was about her. She got married at the start of the year and hasn’t looked happier ever since. I still don’t get how she never looks tired.

DAME PATIENCE JONATHAN



Our dear First Lady has been one of our favorite people since her husband took office in 2010. She continues to stay on the front pages of newspapers for both the right and wrong reasons. From allegedly battling governors to solidly standing by her man through his troubled times, she always made the news. She had some health scares last year but bounced back fully this year to give Nigerians what was without a doubt the clip of the year while addressing the issue of insurgency in the North East. She’ll really be hoping that there is God to help her husband continue in office next year.
